Movie review - "Anvil" (2009) ****

Breathtakingly good doco about a real life Spinal Tap - a heavy metal band that never quite made it but kept going on through the bromance of it's two key creatives and their never ending dreams. Unbearably touching in its depiction of friendship, the loyalty of fans (who turn up no matter what), principles (a musician can't sell on the phone), the love of family (a sister pays money for an album), the lies and conman-ship of the industry,the dreams of all (including the wives). Beautiful.
